Tippet

Hello All
  Once again I turn to the fishing forums in search of some answers. I'm wondering if a 10 # tippet material will fit into a Daiichi #135 size 10 and 12 hook. If I catch a fish on this trip it will be because of this forum! Thanks.

    I'll need an X number, or better yet, a tippet diameter...but I'd guess yes.  In those sizes, that eye isn't too awfully small.

    Just make sure the eye is closed.  I've had a lot of 135s with malformed eyes.

    I've used regular 8-10lb spinning fluorocarbon and fit it just fine in size 10 hooks.
     
    Got this stuff called "vicious fishing" for salmon and it's near impossible to break, even the 8lb.  cheap too.
